    Postulates of Special Relativity: Relativity and The Big Bang

    Uploaded by

    Glenn Clemente
    The 160-minute lesson plan summarizes key concepts of special relativity including Einstein's postulates, and consequences like relativity of simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, and mass-energy equivalence. The plan includes an introduction using Einstein's autobiography, motivating students with pictures and discussions of applications. The main instruction covers Galilean relativity, invariance of physical laws, and consequences of the postulates. Students participate in a thought experiment on the twin paradox. Finally, students evaluate their understanding through an essay describing a day incorporating relativistic effects.

    Content Standards
    The learners demonstrate understanding of:
    1. Relativity and the Big Bang..….

    Performance Standards:
    The learners should be able to create either a printed or an electronic
    Picture-catalog showing the day-to-day applications of astronomy, mechanics,
    Optics, and relativity, and reflect on the social, cultural, environmental, and
    economic implications.

    Learning Competency:
    The learners:

    1.Explain the consequences of the postulates of Special Relativity (e.g. relativity of simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, mass-energy
    equivalence, and cosmic speed limit)

    Specific Learning Outcomes:


    The learners should be able to:
    1. to differentiate Einstein’s postulates of special relativity; and
    2. explain the concepts of relativity of simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, mass-energy equivalence, and cosmic speed limit.

    INTRODUCTION (5 to 10 MINS)
    Overview of the situations/video playback of Einstein’s autobiography

    MOTIVATION (15-30 MINS) Teacher Tips


    Picture analysis / Picture presentation of related importance of understanding the consequences of special relativity  …..
    (situational e.g. social issues, like climate change, food security and price hike etc…)

    INSTRUCTION / DELIVERY WITH PRACTICE ( 120 MINS) Teacher Tips


    Page2|4
    1. Explain the Galilean-Newtonian Relativity  You can compare and contrast
    2. Discuss the invariance of physical laws using Einstein’s First and Seconds postulates Newtonian mechanics to
    a. Einstein’s First postulate: Principle of Relativity further explain the postulates.
    b. Einstein’s Second Postulate: Constancy of the speed of light
    3. Explain the consequences of the postulates of special relativity
    a. Relativity of Simultaneity
    b. Relativity of Time Intervals (Time Dilation)
    c. Relativity of length
    d. Relativity Work and Energy
    4. Give the impacts and applications of special relativity

    ENRICHMENT (30 MINS) Teacher Tips

    1.Give the thought experiment “Twin Paradox” that could explain special relativity  Contextualize problem for
    a. Mrs. Corazon is standing in a field and Mr. Einstein is riding on a railroad car that is moving with velocity v. Mr. Alberto better understanding
    shines a flashlight in the direction in which he is moving.

    Question: What happens?


    Answer: Because of the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light, each observer will measure the light beam from
    the flashlight as traveling at the same speed. This may be contrary to what you expected as you might have thought that
    the observer in the field would have seen the beam moving at (the speed of light) + (the speed of train). Nevertheless, this
    not what is observed in practice. What is actually occurs in the real world is that no one ever measures light moving faster
    or slower than c= 186,000 miles per second (in a vacuum).

    EVALUATION (assignment)
    ESSAY
    1. Write a description of an ordinary day in this imaginary world. Include things you typically do in school
    day. Use your imagination and have fun with the relativistic effects.
